For those who don't know, I make my own invitations. The wording suits my type of show better than the ones available through PC. I have been using the same ones for a couple of years now.

I was fiddling around trying to get my creative juices going on a project (I've was slow in catching the whole Wordle craze, but I'm making up for it. ;)) That's when I had a brilliant idea--new invitations. I decided to play around with some of my favorite PC words. Here's what I came up with

I think it will be eye-catching.
 
i love the colors you used.
 
ooooo....I like it Rae!!! What else do you put on your invites - and are they a full page or just a postcard??

Thanks. They seemed fresh to me.
 
That's really cute - I may borrow (aka "steal") this idea and have something printed up from Vista. Thanks for the info.

They're 1/4-page postcards. The back has a place for the address on the right, with a little square as a stamp reminder. The left side says:

Join the fun . . .
You’re invited to a sensational time of food, fun and friends. It’s sure to be a delicious experience. Plus, you’ll learn great tips to help make preparing dinner quick and easy.
Please respond as soon as possible so I can plan my party. I’m looking forward to seeing you. Have a friend who likes to cook (or eat)? Bring them along!

You can order online, too.
Just be sure to put my name in as host!

You are always welcome to "creatively borrow" anything I post on CS. Most of my stuff has been "artfully derived" from something I've seen here, anyway. ;)

can you post your actual document you have of this...front and back..it would be great to upload these to vista when they have the free postcards
thanks
 
Great idea, beautiful colors. Do you print your own or do you have them printed? If you print your own, do you have trouble with the occasional rain and resulting wet mailboxes ruining the ink?
 
You are just Clever as Ever- Rae! :)
 
Love it!

What program do you use to make your flyers and invites?
 
Great idea! I spend a lot on invites through PC so I'm thinking maybe this is cheaper if I go through, say Vista Print...?
 
I was wondering... I just signed up... Aren't we NOT allowed to use the Pampered Chef name without the little symbol whack a doo. I have no idea what all the rules are. I read over the P&P but it still seems a bit confusing.
I just made some labels and used the PC logo and I'm still not sure if they are "allowed".
 
When using it multiple times, the "symbol whack a doo" (cute!!!) or registered trademark symbol only has to be placed with the name the first time it is used. It does not need to be used throughout the entire document. Or at least that's what I learned when I worked with a Pharmaceutical company - they really like to use those trademark whack a doos!!!

I print my own. As far as I know there's never been any problem with running ink.

Sorry, it's in the latest edition of Publisher. You could probably just create a 1/4 page document and copy and paste most of the wording and the image.

Thanks. I use Publisher for most of my creative documents.

I have no idea. If I use the logo itself, I always make sure the whack a doo is included. Otherwise, I don't worry about it. I can't imagine that the HO is going to hunt me down over copyright infringement for my few little labels and postcards. If I hear different, I'll let you know.
 
I use publisher too can you please send a copy of your doc. i would like to see it all together.Thanks
 
It's CUTE! It reminds me of Joys Oppt word cloud thing! :)
 
Thanks so much it looks great. I am going to borrow it.

Do yo have any good HWC flyers to post on bulletin boards?

this looks great!! I have one question...I use publisher as well..being that you created it as a postcard, when you go to upload it into vista print how do you do that being it shows 4 postcards per page..I can't seem to figure out to get it to post card form with just 1 image to upload
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Love it Rae! It is too cute! I may have to do that to include with my mini-catalogs!
 
That is great I love it
 
Can you put it word I can'i open it
 
Thank you! I was worried about all of the do's and dont's! Ugh!
 
I made one small change so that you can just put your stamp with your website on the side near the stamp. I then converted it to pdf file so that everyone can use it. I hope it came out right.

Well it did not come out right when I saved it...will try again later.
 
Here a copy in pdf..it only has 2 per page...for some reason I cannot get it to convert to pdf with 4 to a page. However, for those who cannot open publisher, you can open this.
